Step 1 Find suitable location for Water Heater Installation

Consider the following 4 points:

i. For weight distribution in caravans aim to position the Water Heater as near to the axle as possible.

You must avoid locating at the very rear and preferably avoid the very front.

ii. Ensure the position allows access for servicing the Water Heater.

iii. In selecting the Water Heater position ensure that the flue will be located on a flat and exposed out

side surface, avoiding trim strips.

iv.Only the supplied flue terminal is permitted to be used and must not be positioned within 300mm of a

refuelling point or fuel tank breather outlet or any ventilator from the fuel system(s). The flue terminal

must not be fitted within 300mm of a ventilator for the living space or an opening part of a window.

6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Fig. 5

The flue terminal may be positioned vertically below an opening part of a window if the appliance is fitted with an

automatic shut-off device to prevent operation when the window is open. It must still be a minimum of 300mm below

the window.

Step 2 Cut out hole for flue

Remove the flue template from the back of the instruction manual.

Position template on the inside of the wall with side Avisible, then drill hole at centre position marked ‘X’ on the

template.

Position the template on the outside of the wall with side B visible, locate over the drilled position hole ‘X’, and ensure

the template is level.

Ensure that the flue outline is on a flat surface avoiding trim strips etc. If the flue needs mounted in a higher position

the water heater mounting board can be raised to suit provided there is sufficient height available.

Drill four 6mm corner holes and cut aperture using flue template.

Fig. 6 Fig. 7

Reinforce the cut out with wooden batons (minimum 20mm wide).This may

require insulation in the wall to be removed.

Fig. 8

Step 3

Apply sealant to seal flue on the caravan side wall of the flue sealing face, ensuring each screw hole is

surrounded by sealant

Fig. 9

Step 4

Secure flue with the 6 screws (No. 8 x 5/8”) provided and remove excess sealant.

Fig. 10

Step 5

Connect Water Heater to flue.

Set water heater on the floor and slide fully into flue as shown.

Fig. 11Fig. 12

Step 6

Fig. 13

Step 7

Connect to gas supply

Ventilation must comply with relevant local requirements e.g. EN 721. Valve and connection are not part of the kit.

Fig. 14

The appliance should be installed in accordance with the installation instructions and comply with any relevant

regulations in the country where the appliance is installed

The supply pipe should be checked and free from dirt or other particles before connection to the 8mm gas inlet pipe

on the water heater with a compression joint. The supply pipe should be routed so that the appliance can be

removed for servicing.

Gas shut off valve should be located in the vicinity of the water heater and all connections should be kept to a mini-

mum.

WARNING: The operating pressure for the gas supply should be either 28-30mBar Butane or 30mbar/37mbar

Propane.

Step 8

Mounting of Whale Control Panel

When mounting the Whale control panel find a suitable convenient and accessible position. Ensure suitable access

for wiring loom connection and cable. Note that the cable supplied to connect the control panel to the water heater is

3.5m long. The minimum depth behind panel for wiring must be 50mm. If using a control panel specific to the

manufacturer or the vehicle the electrical connections must be made in accordance with step 9.

The control panel requires a cut out 45mm high x 35mm wide. Feed the wires through the control panel mounting

frame (see fig.15) and line up the holes with the control panel. Feed the wires through the cut out in the wall and

locate into desired position. Secure with 2 screws (No.4 x 3/4) provided, then clip on the surround frame.

In some instances it may be necessary to make the wiring connections in step 9 before securing the control panel to

the wall.

Please note: It may be possible to retrofit the Whale control panel into existing frames.
